Health Tip: If You Get Food Poisoning
By LadyLively on October 16, 2013

If you get food poisoning — especially during pregnancy — it’s important to let your doctor know promptly.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration offers this advice:
- Know the symptoms of food-borne illness, which may mimic the flu, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever.
- Contact your doctor immediately if you have symptoms. Follow any treatment plan recommended by your doctor.
- Wrap up the suspected food, label it “danger” and freeze it so it can be examined.
- Save cans, cartons or any other packaging from the food, even if it’s identical to the food that made you sick. Write down a list of all recent foods you’ve eaten.
- Contact the U.S. Department of Agriculture if you believe you ate contaminated meat, poultry or eggs. Contact your local health department if you believe you ate contaminated food at a local restaurant.
